Closer, closer, closer and closer.

The imperial city in the middle of the night was pitch black, like an invisible giant beast engulfing the entire city, but Yikun Palace was unexpectedly brightly lit, and the starry lights looked particularly conspicuous in this dark night, but, in Chu Yanzhi's eyes, it was the last bit of afterglow for some people.

When one of Chu Yan's pedestrians arrived at the Yikun Palace, they saw at a glance that the outside of the Yikun Palace had already been surrounded by a team of Imperial Forest Army.

"Your Highness, Lord Xiang." When the Imperial Forest Army led by Chu Yanzhi and Xiang Mingxuan saw it, they hurriedly came out and saluted.

Xiang Mingxuan took a step forward and said to the man, "How?" Is Your Majesty still in the palace? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, Your Majesty has not come out since you went in." The man replied.

Xiang Mingxuan nodded, "But there are still people coming in and out?" ”

"Nope." The man replied.

After listening to the man's answer, Xiang Mingxuan turned around and looked at Chu Yanzhi who was still riding on the horse again, raised his hand, and said, "Your Highness, look at ......."

Chu Yanzhi's dark and heavy eyes narrowed, and he jumped off the horse with his feet, "It seems that it's time to have a good chat with the good father emperor of this palace!" ”

If he does what he says, then he can spare his life, but if he doesn't......

Does he still have this ability?

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi smiled coldly, raised his hand and ordered someone to push open the palace door, and then walked into the palace with his feet raised.

It was late at night, the rain was much lighter, and the grass and trees in the yard were washed verdant by the rain, but the peach blossom in the corner was beaten by the rain.

Chu Yanzhi had just stepped into the courtyard gate, and within a few steps, the emperor's hoarse and old voice suddenly sounded in the room, "Come in......"

The corners of Chu Yanzhi's lips hooked, and sure enough, what Xiang Mingxuan's people said was right, his good father emperor was really here. But he lifted his foot and was about to push in, but the door opened by itself.

The person who opened the door was Zhang Shichang, the chief eunuch next to the emperor.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please." Zhang Shichang opened the door, stood sideways, and half-bowed respectfully to Chu Yan.

Chu Yanzhi's side eyes swept Zhang Shichang contemptuously, then he crossed him and stepped in with his feet.

In the room, the emperor is here, Yan Guifei is there, and even his nominal mother, Shen Guifei, who has been closed for several months, is also there. Chu Yanzhi's slender eyes glanced coldly at the person sitting in the room.

Concubine Shen leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down so quickly!" ”

Chu Yanzhi smiled lightly, "It's not as fast as the mother's steps." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice was already a little contemptuous and sarcastic, "This palace still thinks that Concubine Shen is the most knowledgeable about current affairs, but now it seems that this is not the case......

When he was in power, she didn't immediately lock the palace door and refuse to see guests. At that time, as soon as Zheng Guogong's mansion fell, Zheng Lin absconded from Beijing, a Shen Guifei was no longer afraid, besides, she was also under her nose, even if she wanted to stir up any storms, it was very difficult, besides, she was her nominal concubine, and attacking her would also damage his reputation.

"The prince is really good at laughing, but I heard that Sister Yan still has some good tea in the palace, so I came to ask for a cup of tea." Concubine Shen was shallow and looked impassive.

"I hope that this cup of tea in Yikun Palace will not be regretted by the concubine after drinking it." Chu Yanzhi looked at Concubine Shen and smiled.

"Then the palace will inherit the prince's auspicious words." Concubine Shen smiled, and then slowly put the teacup in her hand back on the table.

Chu Yanzhi hooked the corners of his lips, no longer looked at Concubine Shen, but instead looked at the emperor who had not said a word since he came in, "Father, did you also come to Concubine Yan's palace to drink tea like Concubine Shen?" ”

The corners of the emperor's lips were pursed, and his gloomy gaze swept Chu Yanzhi from top to bottom, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Then you, what are you doing here?" Forced palace? Patricide? ”

Chu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, followed by a smile, he raised his feet and walked to the chair on the side and sat down, why did his father say that? The son is here today just to ask his father to make an edict! ”

"Decree? What is the decree? ”

Chu Yanzhi lowered his head and smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled out the matching sword in his hand, the snow-white blade moved slightly, and then folded out a dazzling light, but it was more dazzling than this light, and what made the emperor even more chilling was what Chu Yanzhi was about to say, "My father is already old, and it's time to take care of his old age." ”

"Why, do you dare to force the palace! Don't forget, I gave you everything you have today! The emperor's right hand pinched the back of the chair tightly, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his eyes stared at Chu Yanzhi with a slight bulge, as if he wanted to poke a few holes in him.

Chu Yanzhi, who originally had a little smile on his face, suddenly sank his face when he heard the emperor's words, and his eyes suddenly burst out with a cold light and shot towards the emperor, "Since my father even gave the position of the crown prince, why not give the position of emperor together?" Could it be that my father plans to re-establish the crown prince again! ”

"Bastard!" The emperor slapped the table and stood up suddenly, perhaps because he used too much force, his body shook suddenly, but fortunately, Zhang Shichang beside him quickly supported him, "If I don't make an order!" ”

Chu Yan's eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura instantly caged towards the emperor, "Father, is this a forced minister?" ”

"How about forcing you?" The Emperor snapped.

As soon as the emperor's words fell, a cold light slashed by, and immediately after, the table next to the emperor 'clicked', and it was actually cut by someone with a sword.

"You...... You ......" The emperor's face turned ashen, he pointed at the tip of Chu Yanzhi's nose, trembling uncontrollably, and couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care!" Zhang Shichang hurriedly stepped forward and supported the crumbling emperor hard.

The emperor looked at Chu Yanzhi's face, and his chest seemed to be stabbed with a dagger again and again. Before this, he still had a little hope in his heart, he told himself that the death of Concubine Xiang was Chu Xi's hands and feet, everything was planned by him, and the reason why the prince forced the palace to rebel was also a last resort, before that, he had always persuaded himself like this, but now......

If he doesn't make this decree today, he really wants to kill his father and the king!

"Good! Good! Good! After a while, the emperor withdrew his hand pointing at Chu Yanzhi and said three 'good' words in a row, "He is worthy of being a good son cultivated by me!" I have worked hard for so many years, but I didn't expect to raise such a poisonous snake by my side! ”

Just after he was forced to hand over the jade seal, he also pleaded for him in front of pity, hoping that he could open up to him, but he didn't expect him to ......

"It seems that my father thinks that the jade seal is more important than his own life?" Chu Yanzhi looked at the emperor and smiled coldly.

I didn't want to, but the emperor laughed when he heard Chu Yanzhi's words, and while laughing, he took Zhang Shichang's hand and sat back on the chair, "You want the jade seal?" It's late, it's late......"

Chu Yanzhi's sword raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and his eyes looking at Chu Yanzhi were full of sarcasm, "Yuxi, I'm not here." ”

Chu Yan's eyes shone together, his slender lips pursed into a line, and his cold eyes were fixed on the emperor, and after a while, the corners of his mouth hooked obliquely, sneered, and said, "Father, is this forcing his ministers to do it!" As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp blade in his hand moved slightly, and the cold light on the blade reflected on the emperor's old and decadent face, illuminating him so much that he could barely open his eyes.

Before coming to Yikun Palace, he had already sent someone to turn the Chongde Hall inside and out, and there was no jade seal there, so the only possibility was that the emperor brought the jade seal with him when he came to Yikun Palace!

"Forcing you? Aren't you pushing me now? The Emperor turned his face sideways, dodging the blinding cold light.

The murderous aura in Chu Yan's eyes suddenly triumphed, and the hand holding the sword also moved.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." At this time, Zhang Shichang, who was standing beside the emperor, shouted vigorously, "Your Majesty, he is not lying, the jade seal is indeed not on Your Majesty." ”

Chu Yanzhi's cold gaze moved towards Zhang Shichang, "If you're not by his side, is it still on you, Gonggong Zhang?" Or......" He raised the long sword in his hand, and the sword slowly moved with his gaze to Yan Guifei, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, "On her?" ”

"Your Highness is wrong, it's not there." Zhang Shichang said.

"Could it be that the jade seal will still grow wings and fly? Say, where is the jade seal! Chu Yanzhi shouted, and the long sword in his hand stopped directly on Zhang Shichang's neck.

He really didn't have the patience to spend any more time with these people, Zhang Shichang was the closest person to the old emperor, he must know where the jade seal was hidden! If he doesn't open his mouth again, then he can only sacrifice his sword.

"Of course the jade seal won't grow wings and fly, it's here with me." Behind him, suddenly a clear voice sounded.

The voice ......

Chu Yan was stunned, and then turned his head suddenly.

At the door, Chu Xizhi stood leisurely at the door in a purple dress, the night wind blew his hair, and his face was clearly reflected in his pupils.

It's him! It's really him!

An explosion of thunder suddenly exploded in Chu Yanzhi's brain, causing his entire head to buzz and hurt.

How can it be!

How can it be!

He had already ordered people to control all the gates in the capital, and even the palace was under his control, so it was impossible for him to appear here!

"Fourth brother, you're a little late." Looking at Chu Yanzhi's shocked appearance, Chu Xizhi smiled lightly.

Chu Yan's eyes narrowed suddenly.

No matter how he managed to get into the palace, if he slashed him by the sword today, everything would be as he had planned.

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi's hand holding the long sword tightened unconsciously.

"It seems that the fourth brother has a killing intent towards me, but it's just ......" Chu Xizhi smiled again, he walked in from the door while laughing, and said to Chu Yan in a very soft voice, "Fourth brother, are you sure you can kill me?" ”

Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and then he looked out of the door.

He alone couldn't kill Chu Xizhi, but he still had Xiang Mingxuan, as well as dozens of masters of the Royal Forest Army! He didn't believe that Chu Xizhi could still escape in the encirclement and suppression of so many people!

As if he knew what Chu Yanzhi was thinking, Chu Xizhi sighed quietly, "Fourth brother, haven't you understood yet?" How did I get here? Why is there such a big movement, but there is no reaction from the outside? Fourth brother, you are a smart person, can't you guess the reason for this? ”
